Default Anybody ever use 215-35-17?

http://tirerack.com/tires/tire...1=yes

Lookin at these babies for my SSR's. Its almost time to buy tires and there are several that Im looking at.

I read all the reviews from http://www.tirerack.com but I want to know if anybody has ever used the Kuhmo MX (205-40-17) or the Pirelli PZERO NERO's?

By the way, this rolling diameter is about 0.33" smaller than a 205-40-17.

I don't have experience with 215/35/17, but I'm running 215/40/17 Bridestone SO-3 on my ITR with a 1" drop from stock. If you want some feedback? Hit me with a IM. Good luck!

A 215/35/17 is not going to leave you with a lot of sidewall to protect the wheel from potholes and bumps. I would never drive on a tire that low profile on expensive wheels on the street...

Isn't that what KIWI is running on his USTCC car, or maybe he's using larger tires...

I'm running 215/40/17's with a minor drop... you'll probably notice that you'll get a bit of rubbing no matter how much your roll your fenders.
